FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MDWerks Appoints Jeff Hopmayer to Board of Directors as Molecular Targeting Technology Platform Expands Across Industrial Markets
GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. – July 10, 2026 – MDWerks, Inc. (OTCQB: MDWK), a molecular targeting technology company commercializing proprietary energy-wave platforms that selectively influence target molecules to improve industrial processes, today announced the appointment of Jeff Hopmayer to its Board of Directors.
Hopmayer joins the Board as MDWerks enters a pivotal stage in its evolution—from technology development to commercial execution. Supported by a growing global patent estate, an independently appraised intellectual property portfolio valued at approximately $400 million, signed commercial contracts, and customer deployments that began in Q2 2026, the Company is executing a strategy centered on recurring licensing revenue, scalable industrial applications, and long-term shareholder value.
MDWerks has reached an important commercial inflection point, moving beyond laboratory validation toward initial commercial deployments supported by customer contracts and a growing pipeline of opportunities across multiple industries. Rather than commercializing a single product, the Company is advancing a molecular targeting platform capable of enabling solutions across numerous industrial markets.
The Company’s technology platform is protected by a broad patent estate of issued and pending patents and patent applications worldwide, creating multiple layers of protection around its proprietary molecular targeting processes, equipment, and industrial applications. This intellectual property foundation supports a scalable licensing model designed to generate recurring revenue as the technology expands into new commercial verticals.
A nationally recognized entrepreneur, investor, and corporate advisor, Hopmayer has built and scaled businesses across the beverage alcohol, logistics, technology, and infrastructure sectors. He is widely known as the founder of Brindiamo Group, one of the world’s leading bulk whiskey sourcing and trading platforms and serves on the boards and advisory boards of several emerging technology companies focused on commercializing innovative intellectual property and creating long-term enterprise value.
MDWerks initially commercialized its platform through flavor enhancement and extraction in the beverage alcohol industry. The Company’s proprietary molecular targeting technology is designed to selectively influence target molecules to improve processing efficiency, product quality, sustainability, and manufacturing economics across a range of industrial processes.
The same platform has expanded into a second commercial vertical through the Company’s Molecular Sawdust Drying System (MSDS), designed to enhance moisture control and processing efficiency for the wood products industry, with its first commercial deployment which has recently begun. Beyond these initial markets, management believes the technology platform has significant opportunities across industrial processing, desalination, water purification, wastewater treatment, chemical extraction, food production, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, engineered materials, and advanced manufacturing. Collectively, these current and potential applications represent estimated addressable markets of more than $1.8 trillion globally.
“What attracted me to MDWerks is that it isn’t simply commercializing a product—it’s commercializing a molecular targeting technology platform,” said Jeff Hopmayer. “The ability to selectively influence target molecules creates opportunities to enhance manufacturing processes across numerous industries. Once a platform demonstrates value in one industry and then successfully expands into another, such as wood products, it begins to validate a much larger opportunity.”
“Companies capable of repeatedly solving complex industrial challenges across multiple markets are relatively uncommon. MDWerks has assembled a highly differentiated technology platform supported by a substantial patent estate, demonstrated early commercial traction, and is now transitioning from innovation to commercialization. I look forward to working alongside management and my fellow directors as we expand strategic partnerships, accelerate commercial adoption, broaden recurring licensing opportunities, and continue unlocking the value of this platform for customers and shareholders alike.”
Jim Cassidy, Executive Chairman of MDWerks, said:
“Jeff has consistently demonstrated an ability to recognize transformational opportunities and help companies bridge the gap between innovation and commercial execution. His experience building businesses, creating strategic partnerships, and commercializing emerging technologies makes him an outstanding addition to our Board as MDWerks continues evolving from a technology developer into a platform company serving multiple industrial markets.”
As a member of the Board of Directors, Hopmayer will work closely with management on corporate strategy, partnerships, commercialization initiatives, mergers and acquisitions, capital formation, and identifying opportunities to expand the Company’s proprietary molecular targeting platform into additional industrial sectors.
